I honestly loved The Hunting Wives, mainly due to its over-the-top shock and dramatics. It felt like every episode, another major bombshell altered the entire course of the Netflix show with the most unexpected twists. So if you, like me, can’t get enough of this specific brand of soapy TV, you’ve come to the right place.
Here are the top 7 shows that offer the same jaw-dropping plot twists and campy essence found in Netflix's The Hunting Wives.
Big Little Lies — Stream on HBO Max
Jennifer Clasen/HBO
Welcome to Monerey! It may seem like the most idyllic California community that you've ever seen, but don’t let the stunning ocean views and cozy seaside coffee shops fool you. This place is rife with revenge plots, danger, and crime. Will the leading ladies make it out alive with all these dark secrets just waiting to burst at the seams?
Desperate Housewives — Stream on Hulu
ABC/Disney
If you thought Wisteria Lane was the picture-perfect suburb, you might want to think again. This series is the definition of chaotic, where you’ll get whiplash from laughing one moment and gasping in shock the next. Plus, Eva Longoria’s character Gabrielle Sollis remains one of the funniest characters in television history, IMO.
Pretty Little Liars — Stream on Hulu
Freeform/ABC Entertainment
I remember watching PLL back when it was airing on ABC Family, and 14-year-old me considered it peak TV. Feeling nostalgic, I decided to put it on again as an adult, and boy, was it an experience. While the soapy hit aired well over a decade ago, I was surprised by how genuinely entertaining I found it on my recent rewatch all these years later. Is the show outstandingly problematic? Most definitely. But it’s also campy and entertaining as all get out, so long as you go into it with the knowledge that Mr. Fitz should most definitely be behind bars.
The Couple Next Door — Stream on STARZ
STARZ
The Couple Next Door is similar to The Hunting Wives in the sense that the seemingly perfect couples on both shows are actually ridiculously unfaithful to one another. If you love watching the messiest relationships fall apart (because let’s be honest, we’re here for the drama), then this is your dream show.
Sirens — Stream on Netflix
Netflix
Just when you think you know who “the bad guy” is on this Netflix hit, Sirens takes you by full surprise by revealing the true villain. The series will force you to address your own pre-conceived notions and leave you utterly flabbergasted by the final episode. An absolute must-watch, IMO.
Orange Is the New Black — Stream on Netflix
Netflix
Who in their right mind wasn’t utterly obsessed with Orange Is the New Black when it first aired on Netflix back in 2013? It was one of those shows that everyone and their mother was obsessing over, and you best believe I was one of them. It’s just so deliciously chaotic. It strikes the perfect balance of humor and drama, while also addressing major political issues that persist within our country to this day.
Killing Eve — Stream on BritBox
BBC
Another sapphic series that’s as funny as it is shocking is Killing Eve, starring Jodi Comer and Sandra Oh. I’m obsessed with everything about this show, from the unique score to the laugh-out-loud characters, as well as the sizzling romance between Villanelle and Eve Polastri. If you thought Hunting Wives was crazy, just wait till you watch Killing Eve.
